200,000 Prisoners To Be Deported

200,000 Prisoners To Be Deported

Formal charges were brought against 164,000 immigrants in 2007 for crimes committed in the United States. Many of those who were charged are
still in the United States. Under the new plan, their deportations could be expedited.

Currently, immigrants convicted of crimes are deported only after serving their sentence in this country. Some of the foreigners behind bars were
legal residents at one time who lost their legal status after their criminal convictions.

This just goes to show how desperately broken this country’s immigration policy has become. Not only do we allow these people to enter our country
illegally and commit crimes, but when we catch them, we use US tax dollars to keep them in prison!

Good for them for kicking these people out. If we had more tough examples like this against illegal immigration it might start to swing things in the
right way.

i agree that this is good news, less tax dollars being wasted im pro immagration but there is a legal means to go about it and if thats good for the
rest of the immigrants than it should be good for others wanting to live here.

Send them back? Are you nuts? They got here before they'll make it back. Ship them to Africa. When asked why tell the truth. "They wanted out
of their country and we decided hey, they wanted out we'll make sure they're waaaaay out of their country by putting an ocean between them and their
former country."
